Oh... good point never thought about that. Must feel rather hopeless fighting so many opponents that there is litterally no room for them on the tile. Say how would that go in a room filled to to the brim with Pink Horrors?!

So while impatiently waiting for Cursed City to be released I found my WHQ: Silvertower and dystes it off to give it another go. We played it quite a lot on its release but I mist admit that since we kinda found the game so easy that it killed the buzz a bit. That was untill a few unlucky Destiny rolls would swarm the board in adversaries and faliure was ineviteable. Later on I got the Adversary Card Expansion but I never got to try them out for Silvertower. After glancing through the cards yet again it appears that these cards were meant for SoH which always use a herogroup of 4(and a gryphound) So my question is the following: 1. Has anyone of you used the adversary cardpack for Silvertower? Did it work and how did it affect the diffuculty? 2. How would you scale the exotic adversary groups, from the card pack for a game using less than 4 heroes?

On the hero wishlist topic I just hope for a mix of heroes that would normally work together. Ever since the original WHQ I always found it weird that a Witchhunter would team up with Chaos Warrior. Or a Stormcast a Skaven and a Khorne Deathbringer as in newer versions. I get that GW aim to include all factions It just killed some of the narrative for me.

My memory might fail me on some of this but but I think I recall Silvertower being released somewhere like june or july. Then a few month later Tzaangors were introduced to 40k and by december/January Disciples of Tzeentch was released. So 6-7 month later. But AOS was very young and unstructured at the time, so Im not sure GW will go for that same release plan yet again.

That sounds awesome, this is most helpfull. I much rather prefer hard difficulty to easy. One last question. Some of the things I did like about Silvertower and Hammerhal was the many different perils a chamber could contain. One room had the players stacking dicetowers, another gave them hard choices to make or filled the room with traps n secrets. does BSF has any of this or is just focused on slaying everything that moves? Again, only asking course we might see some of these mechanics used in Cursed city too.

Out of curiosity. What made BSF better than Silvertower and Hammerhal, in your opinion. Asking since I won’t know anything about BSF. Two things that annoyed me in Silvertower and SoH were: 1. Success and failiure in Silvertower was too random. Most of the time heroes would dash unworried through the map slaying everything at ease. That was untill a Series of unexpected events swamped the area in mosters and the heroes lost instantly with no options to avoid this. 2. Many of the extra heroes for both of the AOS based WHQ’s were insanely strong making the game too easy. Does BSF suffer from some of the same issues?

I too suspect the rules to be based on BSF. If so then what to expect? I have never tried BSF but I have heard good things about it.

So what do you suspect/hope for the rules? Do you think the rules for Cursed City is similar to Silvertower n Hammerhal?

So about Cursed City. Think they will resuse the rules from Silvertower (or even Hammerhal) or are we to expect something leanong up against Black Fortress?

While I agree with you that hopefully the Soulblight Gravelords faction will contain, zombies, wolves, bats and other crazy shenanigans, I think that there is room for some minor vampire/thrall units too. I mean even Dracula has a small army of lesser vampires. Anyway I gotta admit Im mostly in it for the zombies. Though the new Vampires sure look nice.

I mean take a look at all the other Shadespire/Direschasm warbands all (well most) of them include a model that in AOS would be some sort of rank and file unit. No need for Crimson Court to be any different and if so the winged sucker, would be the most obvious choice. Also he looks less hero like compared to the others.

That would be to good to be true. But hey as LRL and Nighthaunts play at the moment it makes no sense for Teclis to go to Shyish himself. Can’t he just send 2 units of 20x Vanari Sentinels. They will deal with the Nighthaunts, Bonereapers and Nagash all by themselves😉

Wauw that was an awesome preview. So glad to see that another WHQ is coming out. I think they said that its full coop? Hope that there might be a gm mode as well but either way it looks freakin nice! Thats an insta buy. It suits me just fine that the Soulblight Gravelords will come as a follow up on Cursed City. Hate to admit it but even the LRL preview looked good. Anyone else but me got the vibe that maybe the winged Soulblight vampire from the Crimson Court won’t be a hero but a normal unit warrior in the Soulblight faction?

Btw isn’t this a one of the unsolved Rumour Engines? One that many guessed to be a vampire actually turned out correct. Well done💪

Whats wrong with it, does it lack Order?

HAha if I were to paint that it would be turned into one hell of a jawbreaker😉

Count me in.. I am just about to finish painting my Bonereapers, combined with my Nighthaunts that takes me close to 10.000pts of Death. If they add Dead walkers I can easily see that increase to 14.000pt.

I cannot be the only one thinking this zombie pirate guy is the spitting image of Le Chuck.

This was the exactly th kinda preview I was hoping for on Christmas day. Man that zombie/pirate orruk- duardin is cool. The Slaanesh stuff is incredibilly awesome too. At this point we don’t know when the Death thingys will be released nor do I care much, but it sure is nice to know that something is coming. Better start saving money now. Btw. Think the Death vs vampire devoted could be a box similar to Feast of Bones, Aether was and whats not? If so I might actually find use for both sides for once.

Why you say that? Any news up yet? Cause I can’t find them.

Happy holidays everybody🙂 Man what a strange release.. Those Slaanesh models are truely awesome and I can’t wait to build a warband out of those. However it is really weird to me that they didn’t release any of the adventcalender pics. Was seriously expecting to be (even just a tad) closer to see if Deadwalkers Soulblight or anything like that will be released down the road. Odd descision.

Nice colourscheme and very fine Nagash. Love to see when people really takes the time required to do a centerpiece model like him properly💪

Don’t know if it’s too far fetched but feeding the Soulblight wish, I think these scales are somewhat batshaped. kinda like the lower part of batmans classic logo.

Byt hey maybe we should agree to share some of the stuff we have been painting this year? Even if it isn’t Nughthaunt it might still be inspiring to share this here. During the spring I actually ran out of ghosts to paint and after doing a few simple commision paintjobss I expanded my Ghosts with a bunch of Bonereapers. I’ve always wanted to paint Nagash and finally had a reason to do so. Some of you probably already seen this but here it is yet again. so far I have been painting close to 3000pt of Bonereapers, Catacombs scenery. Currently working on my Deathriders, a custom Mourngul, and planing to expand some of my ghost units. After that I will paint no more armies but only warbands, small random units and scenery. that is if Deadwalkers isn’t coming anytime soon. If the wishlisting/rumours turn out to be true and zombierelated, then I will do one h... of a zombie army😉 So my paintingworkdone for the Covid cursed year of 2020: - Gloomspite Gitz warband. - The Craven King. - 20 custom Dolorous Guard Hexwraith. - 6 x Chainghasts. - 4 x serraphon monsters (commision). - jungle table (commision) - graveyard. - Frozen Blightkings (warband for Warcry not entirely finished). - 40 x Mortek Guards. - 6 x Stalkers. - Nagash. - 2 Bonereapers Endless spells. - Bonereapers Scenery - 20 x Deathriders (almost done). I think thats it. I don’t have pics of it all yet and most of the ones I have are from WOK but here are some of the stuff:

Tried the new Death book yet? Just bought it, but like I said I have no one to play against at the moment.
